[edit] Notes/trivia

  • The album reached #22 in the U.K album charts.
  • "The Harder They Come", the cover of the Jimmy Cliff song, was released as the only single off this album but failed to make the Top 40.
  • On August 8th, 1992, during the song "One Step Beyond" a ground tremor of over 4.5 on the Richter Scale was measured as the fans danced, the number of fans was 36,007. Several reports noted that the song which followed this, "The Prince", contains the highly appropriate line "an earthquake is erupting".
